‘Miller made 29 saves, including a great glove grab on Ales Hemsky in the third period as Buffalo was protecting a 3-2 lead. Miller, 30, is the 67th goalie in NHL history to reach 200. He’s 12th on the active list, tied with teammate Patrick Lalime.’

‘“It’s exciting, I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a bit,” Ennis said. “I’m pretty excited to play in Edmonton. I grew up watching the Oilers and now it’s pretty cool that I’m going to get a chance to play here against the Oilers.”’

‘“It’s a bit surreal,” Weber said. “It’s a dream come true to get your first NHL goal. I just kind of threw the puck on net. It’s a little thing, but if you throw the puck on net, you never know what’s going to happen. I’m pretty happy.”’

‘Weber also had an assist for a three-point night after picking up just four assists in his first 39 NHL games through portions of three seasons with the Sabres. “That’s probably the biggest game I have had in hockey, ever,” said the Pittsburgh product. “It was pretty special. I guess every squirrel finds a nut sometimes.”‘

‘Buffalo head coach Lindy Ruff was happy his team was able to get a couple of key goals down the stretch for the win, including Hecht’s wrister 2:45 into the third period that gave the Sabres a 3-1 lead.’

‘Quinn said Tuesday that contrary to a report in The Buffalo News, Pegula has not signed such a document to purchase the NHL team from majority owner Tom Golisano. He also refuted a television report that said Golisano would announce the sale when the world junior hockey championship wraps up here next week.’

‘A source close to the situation tells 2 On Your Side’s Scott Brown that the sale of the Buffalo Sabres to Pennsylvania billionaire Terry Pegula is expected to be announced at some point after the World Juniors Championship wraps up next week.’

‘Myers did not take the ice for the warmup and it was announced just before faceoff he was a scratch for the first time during his two seasons after playing 117 consecutive games. Ruff said Myers told him after the morning skate he wasn’t feeling well. The coach didn’t know what Myers’ status would be for tonight. "I don’t think it’s likely," Ruff said.’
